Why Beautiful Women Marry Ugly Men

Women seeking a lifelong partner might do well to choose the man a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the woman is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups.

The reason, researchers suspect, is that men place great value on beauty, whereas women are more interested in having a supportive husband.

Researchers admit that looks are subjective, but studies show there are some universal standards, including large eyes, "baby face" features, symmetric faces, so-called average faces, and specific waist-hip ratios in men versus women.

Past research has shown that individuals with comparable stunning looks are attracted to each other and once they hook up they report greater relationship satisfaction. These studies, however, are mainly based on new couples, showing that absolute beauty is important in the earliest stages of couple-hood, said lead researcher James McNulty of the University of Tennessee. But the role of physical attractiveness in well-established partnerships, such as marriage, is somewhat of a mystery.

The new study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Family Psychology, reveals looks continue to matter beyond that initial attraction, though in a different way.

Supportive spouses

McNulty's team assessed 82 couples who had married within the previous six months and had been together for nearly three years prior to tying the knot. Participants were on average in their early to mid-20s.

Researchers videotaped as each spouse discussed with their partner a personal problem for 10 minutes. The tapes were analyzed for whether partners were supportive of spouses' issues, which included goals to eat healthier, to land a new job and to exercise more often.

"A negative husband would've said, 'This is your problem, you deal with it,'" McNulty said, "versus 'Hey, I'm here for you; what do you want me to do?; how can I help you?'"

A group of trained "coders" rated the facial attractiveness of each spouse on a scale from 1 to 10, with the perfect 10 representing the ultimate babe. About a third of the couples had a more attractive wife, a third a more attractive husband and the remaining partners showed matching looks.

Trophy wives

Overall, wives and husbands behaved more positively when the woman was better looking.

The finding "seems very reasonable," said Dan Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT's Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management. "Men are very sensitive to women's attractiveness. Women seem to be sensitive to men's height and salary," said Ariely, who was not involved in the recent study.

In couples with more attractive husbands, both partners were less supportive of one another. McNulty suggests wives mirror, in some ways, the level of support they get from husbands.

"The husband who's less physically attractive than his wife is getting something more than maybe he can expect to get," McNulty told LiveScience. "He's getting something better than he's providing at that level. So he's going to work hard to maintain that relationship."

Men who are more attractive than their partners would theoretically have access to partners who are more attractive than their current spouses, McNulty said. The "grass could be greener" mentality could make these men less satisfied and less committed to maintain the marriage.

Physical attractiveness of husbands is not as important to women, the researchers suggest. Rather, wives are looking for supportive husbands, they say.

So it seems the mismatch in looks is actually a perfect match. "Equitable is unlikely to mean the same on every dimension," Ariely said during a telephone interview. "It just means that overall two people make sense together."

Russian Ladies' Vodka

It's the Marilyn Monroe of Russian vodka. The violet-tinted liquor bottle has been dressed in a white skirt, blowing up to reveal not a shapely thigh but the new "Ladies' Vodka" label.

In a country where everyone from fishermen to aristocrats have their own vodka, Damskaya Vodka is carving out a niche appealing just to women. "Between us, girls," whisper the ads plastered across Moscow.

"Vodka is Russia's national product, but no one has ever thought to make vodka for women," says Natalia Shumilina, the marketing director at Deyros, the company that is producing Damskaya. "Women drink much less vodka than men, but now they have a product especially for them, we hope that will change."

The tipple comes in five varieties, with flavours including vanilla, almond and lime. A half-litre bottle, which has an alcohol content of 40 per cent, retails for between £5 and £6, which places it in the upper-middle price range for vodka in Russia, where the bargain-basement version can still be bought for about £1.50 per bottle.

The company wants to aim its product at well-to-do women from across the social spectrum. "It's not just for businesswomen," says Ms Shumilina. "Our customers could be family women with husbands and children – they will go to their friends' houses and drink vodka."

Some Russian women remained less than convinced about the new product. "Vodka is always a masculine drink so it seems pointless to make a ladies' one," says Daria Fedorova, a 23-year-old Muscovite advertising executive. "If I want to drink something feminine I'd drink Martini."

But others thought that the trend might catch on. "I think this will be very successful," says Svetlana Kolchik, the deputy editor of Marie Claire Russia. "The fact that it comes in flavours will be popular, and a lot of women might use it to make cocktails with."

Deyros hopes to sell half a million bottles per month by the end of the year, which is still a drop in the vodka ocean compared to the country's most successful brands. Putinka Vodka, launched shortly after Vladimir Putin's accession to the Kremlin, has become hugely popular by linking its name to the President, and sells about eight million bottles a month.

Critics say that the new product could add to Russia's alcohol problems. Doctors estimate that more than one in 10 Russians are alcoholics, and many heavy drinkers are women.

"Women drinking vodka is not only unhealthy, it's ugly and un-ladylike," said one doctor. "They should stick to more appropriate drinks for women, like champagne or white wine."
